Sorry MJ haters, it's MJ maturing as a player. Watch how they record gets better.
1985: 38-44 (rookie season-playoffs)
1986: 30-52 (played 18 games-playoffs)
1987: 40-42 (1st scoring title-playoffs)
1988: 50-32 (nba mvp, defensive player of the year, all-star mvp, steal champ, scoring champ, Pippen's rookie year-playoffs)
MJ haters like to credit Pippen for the 88 season being the Bulls first winning season. But as you can see by all them awards that MJ won it was MJ maturing. Those other 3 seasons MJ didn't have them awards. Anyways, check out Pippen's 1988 stats and explain how was he the difference.
SP-1988: 7.9 ppg, 2.1 apg, 3.80 rpg, 20.9 mpg, 79 games, 46.3fg%, 1.15 spg, 57.6 ft%, and he wasn't a starter. That's not much to turn a team around. Now look at the 89 season.
1989: 47-35 (scoring champ, 1st defensive team, Pippen 2nd season)
Now what's the difference between 88 & 89?
MJ lost those awards, they dropped 3 games, & Pippen was better. Now explain that MJ haters!
